240 bar is 3480psi. Are you using SCUBA or SCBA tanks (4500psi)? Big difference between the two. HP Scuba is usually 3200psi.

I use them at the higher pressures. The safety discs do not blow out at my use pressure. I also have an ACECARE 12 liter CF bottle that I use for my 300 bar guns..

yes, i does very well @ 100yrds, as long as the sun is behind you.
and you must study for correct hold over.

I didn't realize that you need the sun to be behind you. I've been using my buddies zulus on his impact, and I didn't really understand why most of the time it was, it's darker even with the brightness set up high. On my thermnight, i could use the second lowest magnification in the daytime, and it's still plenty bright enough.

Thought I would add to Dr. Mikes thread as we touched base briefly on my experience prior to him buying his. I agree with Mike that the semi-bull pup thing does make mounting a scope tricky but it’s doable.

My experience with my BRK Sonoran has also been very solid. I have found the AEA 45gr pellets @ 895fps are the most accurate. My reg came at 186 and has remained there. The ES and SD are also extremely good.

I know Dana got his up to around 100fpe with the Daystate Howlers. I’ve tried the out at 100 yards and they do okay. But the SubMOA barrel is really meant for pellets at 1:26 twist and it does an amazing job. This is seriously an OOTB MOA air rifle.

Hello all, new fella here. I plan on buying an FX impact m4 soon but want to have all my ducks in a row first as far as having the ability to re-fill. If I were to buy a GX CS3-I compressor...what other items do I need to get to get (In -line filter)? And what fittings etc do I need to ensure I can hook it up to the Impact? Thanks in advance for any help, I'd appreciate it.

Click to expand...

I just bought the FX impact sniper I purchased a coupler because to refill it on the bottom of the gun it is too small the couple made it a lot easier to refill I bought an AV Rover 4500 it's made by air Venturi compressor it does 250 300 bar without a problem it is a portable air compressor 12 volt as well as home current 110 for me to feel my 580 CC bottle probably took about 8 minutes did not put a timer on it though works very well hope this helps I'm new to the game as well

Pulling out isn't an effective contraceptive!! But you will end up loving them just the same. Nice line up!

Thank you, Sir, helpful bit of information. WM

Mike!

There was a member here that did a lot of work building/testing his own moderators (since been booted for violation of the rules).
He mentioned that using dishwashing soap was a good remedy for cleaning most moderators. Fill em up, shake em up, rinse and repeat.
Allow to dry thoroughly, and reinstall.
I suppose that your best bet would be to ask STO via email and get their take on cleansing. I see in another thread that you have already contacted STO on a different issue, so at least you can ask about this too.
BTW, I believe that the Falx is your best bet to use for quietness. That model works very well and is not as long as the Sarissa model (tho, I've never compared the two!).

I have this for dedicated use on my 250z and it REALLY takes the bark out of the .25 Caliber better than any others I have (DFL, 0db,)

Yes they use the same mags. Its the same magazine as the benjamin marauder and umarex gauntlet as well as beeman chief 2 and im sure as well as others. I purchased them on sale on amazon I think it was like 15 for 2 when i got them.

Yes. Dealer set up officially is at 5p to 7p. However, I’ll be there by one to set up tables. Anyone one who wants to show up early and help is welcome.

what is the barrel OD, it might be interesting to put on a Carbon Fiber sheeve on one
i do see that Waffencenter list them but out of stock and they would cost to get one

The carbon sleeves look decent in the raw. Not sure what the clear coated one looks like, might have to get some.

genericAGuser said:

Yes, sorry, I meant the guns. How long ago did you get second one? Which one came from AoA, I'm guessing it was used?
Although I wouldn't mind getting a tank so I can refill the 2.5 oz cylinders myself. The 887 hasn't been shot in a while, I do have 2 full cylinders I filled in Texas before I moved. But seeing as I don't have a sure way to refill them, and I have that SSP 753S, they have been sitting in my guitar gun case

So I got both of them in the last week. I called my local welding supply and a #20 tank with dip tube was $67 dollars to lease for the year and $35 every time I swapped it out. Which I figure will be once a year. Which means I just need the paintball CO2 fill/regulator and a scale.

It probably seems excessive to go to this trouble to shoot with my kids at the house but I can’t even fill my truck for a hundred bucks and if it saves me two hours time getting em filled. To me this pays for itself the first time I need to fill a tank.

Thanks. If I get my gun sighted in, and my ranges figured out, I may have to come shoot my first match.

Hello MM,

Welcome to the forum! I just sent you a personal message including more information. Hope to see you Saturday.

I love it. Mine is 357 variant but shares almost every part. It doesn't leak at all ( i have other aea that do leak down to like 4200psi). My magazine is different on the inside, so I can't speak on that. The outside of the magazine is the same and its awesome, locks into place solid. I have had one magazine apart to make sure the wheel could move freely. It ended up being the cover was a little to tight. It did cause a jam, but not until the last position, there wasn't enough spring tension on the round because the wheel was dragging on the clear cover. I cleaned the threads and loctite the cover screw so it doesn't move. I believe that fixed it and so far it hasn't happened again. I shot around 120 rounds before the jam. Since the fix I would say another 32 rounds. It shoots great with a moderator, no issues cycling. It's powerful, fun to shoot. Im happy.

I've heard the .45 cal one be mis firing like the t9 ?

Threw him directly just message him.

Spring is in the air here in northeastern Ontario. 10* C and finally the snow is melting enough to get out to a friends airgun range. Set up at 30 ,50 ,75 and 100 yards. With a proper set up , same death grip tripod only I brought a seat and was set up on a stable platform.
This rifle is definitely a shooter, I left it slinging the MRS’s at 940 FPS. Hole on hole at 30 and 50 , at 75 the groups opened up to just over a half inch and at 100 just around the one inch mark. I did try a few different batches of the MRD’s , both the old and new shallows group the same.

Happy Easter everyone.

I use the STO Falx High Flow in my Epoch .30 and my Evo .22. I tried the Pugio but it was louder and adversely affected accuracy. Funny, since on my .25 Panthera Slugger I use the Pugio and it works great... For any of the Skout configurations, the Falx High Flow is highly recommended...

Click to expand...

That’s what’s on my Skout .30. But I use a three section Huma on it when I’m shooting .22. Haven’t tested the Falx with the .22 yet.

okay

I fondly remember the IZAAK WALTON LEAGUE club in Damascus when I was a teenager from SILVER SPRING MD. They got me loving fried oysters when they had their field days. Me and my shooting buddies loved going out there to shoot Trap and our .22's, and they even had a real dear there to watch.
Now I live in Maine where deer are everywhere.

I think I've used the 6 amp hour for 3 refills of one of my P35s and it's voltage while not connected to a load is still over 18V but under 19V so I plan to use it one more time - but I think one more refill will drive it below 18V resting. I'll also keep an eye on running voltage which I'd like to keep above 15V.

I think I understand better why the charge indication bars do not work when using a milwaukee battery to the drop down converter and compressor. Milwaukee has used a proprietary technology in their battery protection system for around 10 years. I think it is called red lithium technology. They advertise that it is tools and batteries communicating but there are other views of what is occurring. But it is part of the battery protection technology and is not expected to work when the battery is not connected to a non Milwaukee tool. So no charge bars. My monitoring of voltage takes the place of that protection technology (at least in my mind) so I plan to keep on using my Milwaukee batteries. The 8 amp hour recharged fine and I think this 6 amp hour will too. But from what I read DeWalt and Makita 18V batteries do not have a similar circuit. So they may be better batteries to use in this application (and the GX is reportedly using a Makita battery). I think the same thing would happen if I put one of my Milwaukee batteries into a converter so it could be plugged into the GX battery powered compressor. The tool works but there is reason to be concerned the battery protection may not work.

I may reduce my use of the battery power for my GX soon not because I am not confident in it but just because I'm shooting from home and my bottle or the 120V power supply for the GX are both available. But if I have any issues I will update this thread or otherwise make it known.

Thanks! Since it's not obvious, the barrel was shortened by Mark Hooper, so there is also a moderator tucked up in there.

I have read your tune, it will help a lot of owners. I have found that around 1600psi will send a 145gn lead ball at around 950fps. Evan 220 gn. Cast Bullet Engineering ( an Australian company) solid slugs will get in the 800 fps with 1800psi. Even the h/p 330gn will get in the 700 fps area with that pressure. I have compared that power with a Colt 1911 45acp also shooting lead & they knock over steel pigs at 50m with ease. With the advent of thermal scopes feral dogs/cats do not stand a chance under 100m & property owners have no problems with stray shots traveling long distance as powder burners can do. The lower sound also does not wake up the neighbours. Suppressors are not allowed in our area.

Your 1701P is begging for some Rink attention ;-)

Avenge - X regulator reassemble/washer stack: does anyone have the order to install them? I tried to keep them together because there is no information or schematics on reassembly, they scattered pretty quick when I opened it up. Please help , wanting to shoot this weekend. Appreciate any assistance and or websites
